David Yee

Toronto-based playwright, actor and co-founding Artistic Director of fu-GEN Theatre Company, David Yee, is this year's winner of Canada's most valuable theatre award in the category of playwriting.

Marking its debut in Florida, Acts of Faith is a rare gem, performed only one other time in the United States. The production also marks the directorial debut of Patrick Arthur Jackson, adding an extra layer of anticipation to this unique theatrical experience. At the heart of the performance is the talent of Boston-based actress Victoria Omoregie, who steps into the lead role, bringing Faith's character to life with depth and authenticity.

This fall, American Stage will talk about faith – both the metaphysical concept, and title character of their latest production, acts of faith. The one-woman show centers on a Faith, a Zambian woman mistaken for a prophet after a strategically placed nail, some astute observations, and a corrupt priest takes notice.

The Siminovitch Prize, Canada's foremost theatre distinction, honours the groundbreaking theatre artists advancing the art form with influential work having a profound, transformative impact on the Canadian theatre landscape. Learn more about this year's finalists here!

A shopping mall is an ambitious setting for a play, and a Chinese mall perhaps even more so given the cultural significance they have for their communities. NO FOREIGNERS attempts (and does well) to weave between lore, existentialism, comedy, and myth, revealing the struggle many people face when trying to find their identities in an ever-changing world.

After a hugely successful run in 2018, and a multi-city tour, NO FOREIGNERS returns to THE THEATRE CENTRE this September. A collaboration between ground-breaking Vancouver interdisciplinary super group Hong Kong Exile and Governor General's award-winning playwright David Yee of fu-GEN Theatre, NO FOREIGNERS is a multimedia performance that meditates on North American Chinese shopping malls as spaces of cultural creation and clash. Multiple storylines begin in a mall and quickly divergea?"catapulting the audience across cities, between Cantonese and English, in and out of the afterlife, through the past, present, and future.

Artistic Director Aislinn Rose announced The Theatre Centre's 201920 programming today at one of the company's signature (and delicious) community meals. The focus of the year ahead is on the idea of "reckless generosity".
